On the hunt for an outfit combination that’s laid back but sophisticated? Trust us when we say you can’t go wrong with Chelsea boots and slim fitting jeans.

One of the best things about this combination is that it is classic and season-less. In other words, these items are both hardworking wardrobe staples that will never go out of style and can be worn all year round. Invest in both these items and you can be confident about getting a lot of wear from them in return.

Chelsea boots are slip on ankle boots with a sleek silhouette. They feature an elasticated side panel along with a fabric tab to easily pull them on and off. These boots have been a stylish part of both men’s and women’s shoe collections since the Victorian era, when the first pair was created for Queen Vic herself.

Hardwearing denim jeans were originally created for work purposes, specifically for both cowboys and miners. They became a popular symbol of rebellious fashion in the 1950s (thanks to James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause), and have become a ubiquitous wardrobe staple in the decades since then.

Whether you opt for suede or leather, black or brown, pointed or rounded toes; Chelsea boots are an effortless fit with slim fitting jeans. As a general rule, the lighter the wash of your jeans, the more casual your look.

Accompany the combination with a shirt and blazer for a smart/casual look, or with a slogan t-shirt for a more casual rock and roll inspired outfit. And if it’s really cold? Pull on a thick wool jumper and you’re good to go.
